Birds


Recently, the bird in the above picture , built a nest in my garden. Few days later I realized that it had laid 4 eggs.
It was so amazing to watch these birds. A week or two later all 4 eggs hatched. I tried to take pictures in every stage, but not wanting to disturbs them I did not dare to go close. However, I managed to get some decent snaps, few days later after they grew.


I had to wait (with out moving or making any noise) for like eternity, to get this picture. The mother (I presume) was so cautious, It would fly in and out like 100 times before it came down to feed.

These were shot couple of days before they flew out of their nest.

I wish I was there to capture their first flight.

If the photo prints are not "good enough", you can always use them as the bird liners:-)

The first picture is good on regard of the colour combinations green, white and the nest and bird colour. Excellent effort. The pictures would be still better with a little more sharper shot

Consider it as My concern.....please be care full while taking bird nest photography, as it can take predators to nest easily. Crow watch and follow humna for food, so the cats and dogs...many time fatal to helpless chicks in the nest...
